Edinburgh hotelWelcome to Sonas Guesthouse.
Sonas Guest House, One of Edinburgh's best “Bed and Breakfast” establishments, is a converted 19th century Victorian Villa, built in the 1870's for the directors of the Railway.

It offers the charm of 19th Century Edinburgh with 21st Century amenities.

The guest house is ideally situated on the South side of the city being located on a quiet side street.

We provide freshly cooked full Scottish breakfasts so you are well prepared to explore the 1000 years of history that awaits you on our doorstep.

Dining Room:
For a great start to the day enjoy a freshly cooked Scottish breakfast, from the grill, with fried or scrambled eggs. Or you may prefer French Toast with Maple Syrup, perhaps some fruit yoghurt, cereal and toast is more to your liking. Whatever your choice you are free to enjoy, at your leisure.

Attractions:
We are ideally situated on the South side of the city being located on a quiet side street. Close to Arthur's Seat (Edinburgh's extinct volcano), The Royal Commonwealth Pool, University of Edinburgh, The Festival Theatre and The Queen's Hall.
Just a two minute walk takes you to the bus stop on the main road, where a cheap, excellent bus service will speed you to your selected destination in and around the city centre.

Perhaps Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace or the historic Royal Mile is of interest to you. Maybe the Royal Yacht Britannia, Edinburgh Zoo or the Royal Botanic Gardens are more to your taste.

If you are a fan of the Da Vinci Code then Rosslyn Chapel is only a short ride away. If retail therapy is your desire then Edinburgh has its very own exclusive department store, Jenners, on Princes Street, now competing with the new kid on the block, Harvey Nichols, at St Andrew's Square.
